Inter’s Alessandro Bastoni shares his thoughts on Premier League rumors.
In the wake of a dominant 3-0 victory against Serie A’s Cagliari, Inter Milan’s defensive anchor, Alessandro Bastoni, stepped into the media spotlight to discuss the match and address rampant speculation surrounding his future, particularly ties to the English Premier League. His poise and candor reflect the wisdom of a player who is becoming increasingly pivotal in the tapestry of top-tier football.
Bastoni’s contributions to the scoreline at the Unipol Domus were nothing short of impactful—he initiated the onslaught with a powerful header that illustrated both his aerial prowess and attacking intent. The scoring was completed by Lautaro Martinez and Hakan Calhanoglu, rendering Cagliari’s hopes for points futile. This comfortable win allowed Inter to draw within a single point of the Serie A summit, trailing Atalanta, who were held to a 1-1 draw by Lazio at Stadio Olimpico.
“To be honest, I was not even trying to score and did not look at the net,” Bastoni confessed, downplaying his goal as a happy accident. “I was just trying to put it back in the middle. It wasn’t an intentional goal, but it went well, so I’ll take it.
“Our defense participates in the attacking moves, and this really helps everyone,” he explained, showcasing the fluidity of Inter’s system under Simone Inzaghi. “The switch we made as a team was that we attack together and defend together. There are many rivals for the Scudetto, Atalanta and Napoli are doing well, so we must continue trying to win every game.”“
While Bastoni is recognized as a cornerstone of Inzaghi’s plans at Inter, his name has been swirling in transfer gossip, attracting interest from some of the titans of the Premier League, including Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea. Such speculation is hardly surprising given his remarkable performances in recent seasons.
“I am the first to prefer keeping a low profile,” said the Inter stalwart, hinting at a maturity that transcends mere ambition. “I feel appreciated where I am and ask for nothing more. The rest is not of interest to me; I just want to be appreciated by the people I work with.”“
